From the Manufacturer

Comfortably Delivering Video with HD Quality to the Latest HDTVs and A/V Receivers
With most entry-level DVD players, you're only able to watch video playback in standard definition. If you've already invested in an HDTV or planning to in the near future, the DV-SP404S will take standard DVDs to high-definition quality by converting to 720p or 1080i through the High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) on the rear. Also, with a 108 MHz/12-bit video DAC supporting progressive scan, you're assured of spectacular viewing time-after-time. The DV-SP404 will do what you expect from higher-priced players, and it will also serve as a capable playback device for all your audio sources from your own CD library or computer-based digital files. Easily matched with AV receivers up to the high-end range, the DV-SP404 is a worthy addition to any home entertainment system.

Key technology Features:
DTS-ES 96/24: There are two DTS®-ES™ (Extended Surround) formats: DTS®-ES™ Discrete 6.1 and DTS®-ES™ Matrix 6.1. The DTS®-ES™ Discrete 6.1 format is, as the name implies, a 6.1-channel system with a discrete back surround channel, while DTS®-ES™ Matrix 6.1, like Dolby® Digital Surround EX™, provides a matrix-encoded back surround channel. There's also DTS® Neo:6, which derives a 6-channel surround output from a stereo soundtrack, and regular DTS®, which, like Dolby® Digital, is a discrete 5.1-channel system, but which uses less compression than Dolby® Digital. Receivers carrying the ""96/24"" designation are able to decode a new high-resolution audio format, DTS-96/24. This breakthrough allows for high quality, 5.1 channel audio encoded at 96kHz/24-bit resolution to be stored on a DVD-Video disc (or the DVD-Video portion of a DVD-Audio disc). This format is compatible with all DVD players, with those able to pass a 96kHz signal providing the highest quality output (DTS-96/24 is also backwards compatible with older 48kHz DVD player models).

Dolby Digital: DVD players with this logo are capable of transmitting a Dolby Digital signal (in coaxial and/or optical format) to a receiver or processor. The receiver or processor must be able to decode Dolby Digital signals to properly reproduce the audio.

JPG: JPG is a standard image format used in today's digital cameras and personal computers. DVD players that carry this logo are able to read CD-R/RWs that contain JPG image information and display slide shows on your television (such as recent vacations, family photos, etc.).

Progressive Scan: By "painting" an entire frame at once, scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts, and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen.

HDMI: HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) This high-bandwidth interface supports not only brilliant digital video, but digital audio as well. Up to 5 Gbps of data—more than twice what's needed for a high-definition movie with surround sound—can be handled, with room for future requirements. All this data is kept in the digital domain, as there are no D/A or A/D conversions needed, to ensure the highest sound and video quality available.

MP3: This audio format achieves about a 10:1 compression over conventional CD audio. What does this mean? You can store many more songs using the same amount of space. For example, a standard 650MB CD can hold more than 200 songs in MP3 format. Various bitrates allow for higher or lower quality, depending on the desired sound quality of the final recording.

VLSC: Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage but can't remove it completely. Previously only found on our high-end components, VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. Data is converted between sampling points and these points are joined with analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result — a virtually noiseless, smooth analog signal based on the digital source to bring out even the most subtle of nuances in your music, movie soundtracks and even MP3s!

SACD: Are you ready for a brand new music listening experience? 5.1 channel Super Audio CD represents the best music has to offer. Direct Stream Digital™ recording technology is a drastic improvement over Compact Disc, both in technology and sound quality. Thanks to multichannel sound, it doesn't just appear as if the musicians are playing in your living room. It sounds as if you're transported from your living room into the original performance space.

What a DVD player... outstanding.
Nice, good performance, simply excellent.
You should buy it.
The only bad feature of it... it only reads Region 1, so, if you use to travel around the world and buy DVD's everywhere (as myself) this is not the DVD you are looking for.

MAD CATZ PS2 MULTI-PORT 4 PLAYER - PS2 Micro Multiport (Slim Line)

Customer Reviews:

Don't Buy This, Because It Doesn't Work.......2007-05-13

Like the other single reviewer here, I bought this through Amazon and found that IT NEVER WORKED.

Maybe this third-party product by Madcatz for the Playstation 2 (PS2) does not work work certain models, but I have the model it specifies on the box and it didn't work when I tried it. When I plugged the unit into my PS2, the PS2 cooling fan turned on high and kept running until I unplugged the product. The audio stopped working until I unplugged the product. The controllers did not work with this product in the PS2.

I don't know how Madcatz ever came to produce this product. I can only imagine that it worked with the first model of the slim PS2. I have the Playstation 2 model number SCPH 77001, for the NTSC (North America) region, and it is the slim model as the box says the product is for. I have no idea why it never worked, but I've obviously wasted my seven dollars, and what's worse is I feel like an idiot for buying the thing.

Might have been nice..........2007-01-09

If this piece from Madcatz had worked at all it would have been held in a higher regard. I received one, brand new, for my December birthday and was excited to use it for the first time with my Slim PS2. I have three friends and none of them like to watch other people play.
Unfortunately when this multiport was in, the way the undetailed instructions demonstrate, I had problems. My gaming system (that has never had problems at all) became fussy about either reading brand new, just opened, discs or providing sound for the games. As soon as this multiport was removed, it cleared up the issue.
I checked the package several times hoping to discover that it was just not for the slim PS2 or was in some other way incompatible... but it was the appropriate design and fit, as labeled. Therefore, this product from my experience gets a whopping 1 star for being a good gift... in theory.
